BURGLARS STEAL OVEN, DAMAGE HOME

PEMBROKE PINES -- Burglars got away with a range and matching microwave oven, valued at $1,000 after pulling their truck up to a home in the 10000 block of Southwest Sixth Street, police said.

A neighbor heard shattering glass at about 5 a.m. on Monday, police said. When he looked out his window, he saw a white four-door pickup backed up to the rear of the residence with appliances in its bed, police said. The truck was driven west on Southwest Seventh Street and then turned south on Palm Avenue, police said.

Although a perimeter was set up, police were unable to catch the suspects. Police said $400 worth of damage was caused to the home by the thieves who shattered the glass door and marred the vinyl floor by hauling the range over it.
